Today's program will be preceded by the public flogging
of Pp. Larue "Larry" Undercoffer. As most
alert adults are aware, Election Day will be November 8th this year.
This is good news for the Kingdom, because we had already scheduled
November 2nd for the Area Four Foundation Dinner. It would have been
difficult to move the election. Rotary's "Funny Man" Al
Frumkin will be the featured speaker in what promises to be
an outstanding dinner.
- Thanks to the overwhelming support for the foundation fund drive
last week, our club will have 18 members receiving
Paul Harris recognition. Not only is this probably the highest percentage
of any club in the District, our club may receive more awards than
the other four clubs combined.
- The above mentioned serf, Undercoffer, is using
his great influence with the Elks Club to make sure that both the
food and service will be to the high standards worthy of members
of the Royal Court.
- Your board of directors have agreed to dip into the Royal Treasury
and subsidize the dinners for our members. At $25 a plate, including
all tips, you and your significant one will have a great meal, plus
an entertaining and inspiring floor show.
- By Royal Proclamation, there will be no head table. The VIP's
will be seated at tables with the commoners, in order to pass their
wisdom to the masses.
- Introductions will be few and brief. The purpose of the evening
is to honor you, the Rotarians who make The Rotary Foundation programs
possible.
- Yours truly is in-charge. We expect that these radical changes
will result in a fast-paced and memorable evening for all who attend.
Today, we will hear a report from student leaders on
last Tuesday's Rock Creek Barbecue. This is one of
the most inspiring youth projects that our club sponsors every year.
Not only do the handicapped children get a "special time"
hiking in the woods and meeting Smokey Bear, but the members of the
Leadership Classes are able to learn at a young age the rewards of "Service
Above Self".
The Crown is lifted to Pete Brost,
Bonnie Murphey, John Hensley and Sandra
Brown for organizing this outing every year. We had a great
turnout of helpers, including Ben Barretta, Pearce
Boyer, Ron Knaus, Shirl Mendonca,
Laurie Powell, and Kim & Colin Stewart.
This is a project that every club member should attend at least once.

•
Ask Don Fultz why the tags on his li'l hot rod have
expired. Good thing there are no cops in our club ...
•
Last week, the hard drive in Kidd Kenitzer's laptop
kicked the bucket. Good thing he follows his own advice and backs everything
up so dilligently. Wait, he forgot to do that again?! You'd think
he would've learned that the last time -- less than 6 months ago!
•
There were 2 times The Union was supposed to print Ron Knaus'
mug shot with stories and both times the copy desk forgot it. What's
up with that?
•
Did you ask Eric Trygg about his chicken yet?
•
Pete Brost was puzzled why nobody has paid any fines
for an immensely proud occassion of having their beautiful young daughter
get engaged (as in marriage)?

Fund Raising: During last week's meeting, our club raised $10,152
for the Rotary Foundation and another $550
for Katrina Relief ... in 10 minutes. That's over $1,000
per minute!
• New Honorary Member: Last week, Wally
Krill was inducted as an honorary member for his many years
of "Service Above Self" attitude and hard work in our community.
• Rotarian of the Month : Congratulations
to Gayle Denney for being selected as RoM for September.
•
Sierra Services for the Blind: This year's annual event is now
called Party Hearty with Jimmy Accardi and will be
held on Nov 18 at the Grass Valley Vets Building.
All members will be required to sell four tickets to
this event.
•
Rotary Youth Exchange: If you are interested in hosting a RYE
student for three months next year, please talk to John Woodford
or Nancy Kemp.
•
Weight Loss Challenge: Last week's winner in the contest was
new member Brent Daggett, who shed 6.8 lbs, followed
by Jim Phillips, Don Fultz and Randy
Young. The standings to-date: Fultz = 8.0 , Daggett = 6.8,
Phillips= 6.2, Young = 4.0. In a complex formula only understood by
George Rebane, each week's loser contributes $10 per pound to the winners'
Paul Harris accounts.
